In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, and milk. Stir occasionally until the butter has melted and the mixture starts to bubble gently.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the instant pudding mix until it is fully dissolved and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and quick oats, stirring until everything is combined and the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
If using chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture gently until evenly distributed.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or refrigerate for 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
Once the cookies have set, transfer them to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
Serve and enjoy these soft, chewy no-bake cookies!
